Subject: File No. SR-NSCC-2021-010

Voting to implement SR-NSCC-2021-010 is of vital importance to the health of the financial markets as well as to the perception of how fair and free America's financial markets are.

To not implement SR-NSCC-2021-010 is to admit both that the markets are not free or fair, AND that the powers that be are willingly keeping them that way.

I fear the rest of the world will turn away from our financial system, and we'll be left at the mercy of those seeking to manipulate the markets for their own personal gain.

For markets to be free and equitable, naked shorting and FTDs must be made a thing of the past.
